May 2025 Virtual Lunchtime Lecture

Join us for our May Virtual Lunchtime Lecture - “Ethical Crossroads: What We Think We Know as Business Leaders“

Different ethical lenses are constantly shaping the decisions of business leaders. In our May Lunchtime Lecture with Professor David Quintanilla, we'll step into the intriguing world of behavioral ethics, exploring how things such as cognitive dissonance, groupthink, and conformity bias subtly influence our actions in the corporate arena.
